Shifting Sands

If you’ve ever sat on the seashore and wondered at the setting sun, the passage of time, this poem is for you.

In the Moment

Pressed between
Memories of past
Future unknown
Only this moment

In the Moment With God

In the moment I thank God for each breath I take In the moment I thank God for the cooling breeze In the moment I thank God for his hand upon my life In the past I feel the pain of struggles and trauma In the past I grieve for those who are gone now […]

Seasons of Hope

Colorful leaves
Emerging bright
Hues of orange, red
Glowing in the light

Searching

In a packed train, humanity closes in on me. I reach for you, but you are not there. Yet in the solitude of the wilderness, I heard your voice.

Hope Cuts Through

A voice from above me
echoes against steel walls
“Be still and know
that I am God.”

All I Need

I cannot measure up to God
Which is why he came down to me
I cannot raise myself up to God
Which is why he raised his son for me

The Distant Ring of Hope

Can we ever return
To that innocent time
Of warm embraces
Unhindered social times

You Were Always There

Beaten down by hostile words
But you helped me overcome

Struck by an abusive hand
But you helped me overcome

Told who I would never be
But you helped me overcome

Reassurance

In this temple of God’s creation, I feel his gentle hand upon me
I feel his gentle grace, his love surrounding me
